Drew:

I like that 2nd advert for August Stukenbrok where it gives that all you need on the Dark Continent is the 9,3X74R:

�......besonders aber in den Tropen auf Elefanten, Rhinozerosse, B�ffel, Flu�pferde, L�wen und Tiger"

Looks nice at the first glance, at the second there are several mistake..! That wasn't an expert.

�Sonntagsstamperer" - an odd term that is not seen that often? Thanks to Wolfgang for the following:

>>If you are a hunter and call some of your friends or neighbours together for a small hunt, mostly on mixed game or perhaps on wild boar, this is called a "Stamperer" especially in Southern Germany, namely in Bavaria. A small hunt, just for fun! And If you do so on a Sunday, it's a "Sonntagsstamperer". In my Region we call this a "Piddelsjagd".


Important: In Germany it's not allowed to make a bigger hunt on Sunday. That means no more than 4 hunters together. So, a Sonntagsstamperer means a hunt with only 4 hunters or less!<<

Well, time for the first lesson in our webinar Waidmannssprache oder J�gersprache.

1. Red Deer Stag:



Eyes = Augen in German = "Lichter" for the Waidmann (Lichter means lights)

Nose = Nase in German = "Windfang" for the Waidmann (Windfang means catching the wind)

Ears = Ohren = "Lauscher" for the Waidmann (lauschen = listen intensely)

If you have learned this, don't be happy too early! Take a look at the Wild Boar and see the different terms. Here comes a Keiler:

Raimey,
When did they start limiting Sunday hunts to 4 hunters( + drivers?). At least up to the 1980s, we hunted almost every Sunday with 7-10 hunters and as many drivers. The exception was the year of Carter's gas crisis, when non emergency driving was not allowed on Sundays. It this limit Germany wide or only certain states?

Mike, because it was me, who stated it, let me answer: This limit is German Federal law. The number of hunters allowed is different from staten to state.Some say 4 hunters and 4 drivers. Because the ASP (African pig desease) is coming closer, some states give exceptions, but not for every Sunday!
It#s not forbidden to hunt with more hunters only sitting and without drivers

I just see, that in the Baden-W�rttemberg state there are allowed hunts with no more than 15 people, hunters and drivers together.

Cheers,
Wolfgang

Wolfgang,
It seems like limiting the number of hunters to control disease is backward, you would think they would like to control the number of animals to slow the spread of disease. The hunts I was speaking of were for small game( niederwild), does the limit apply to that also?
